Rohmer made some brilliant films. He will be missed.
May he rest in peace, for he gave the world some brilliant pieces of filmmaking.

Boy, you really worked hard on the obit of one of the greatest directors of the 20th century. Kudos on your massive effort, EW.
I’ve never seen his Moral Tales series, I have to get to that eventually.
